( illig agreement).
In Ilig the Daraawiish forces and their followers, who had experienced bad times, found peace and time to recover from the loses in manpower and wealth in the war with the British. Actually, it was nearly a decade later when Sayid Maxamed restarted his campaign to call the jihad against the colonialists. He attracted the loyalty of major clans such as the Warsangeli of the powerful Harti clan, Cumar Maxamuud and Ciisa Maxamuud, both of Majeerteen Harti clans. Since in Islam a man is allowed to marry no more than four wives at a time, to ease his political marriage, Sayid Maxamed had to marry and divorce frequently. These relations opened the way for the Sayid to ask for wife the sister of Maxamuud Cali Shire, the son of the powerful Garaad Cali Shire of Warsangeli, and the sister of Islaan Aadan of the Cumar Maxamuud lineage of the Majeerteen clan as his wives, and indeed, he did marry both women. The alliance of these clans helped Sayid Maxamed to reconstruct his forces. The association with the Warsangeli clan gave him access to Laas Khoray (Maakhergoosh), a door to the Arabian peninsula to import firearms and ammunition. The importation of firearms and ammunition contradicted the Ilig Agreement of 1905 (see bottom).

The good relationships which in the past Boqor Osman had had with Sayid Mahamed ended after persistent Daraawiish scorched earth raids on Majeerteen settlements. Initially Boqor Osman had repulsed invasions of his Sultanate by the Daraawiish. But armed confrontation with the Italians had made him vulnerable to the Daraawiish attacks. He turned to the Italians for an "honourable settlement".

Its strange that the ultra nationalistic Darwish Instead of helping THe king with the Kuffar enemy Tries to loot him. Maybe darwish and the italians.

Let's not insult the Great Sayid & the Brave Darwiish forces guys, every story has two sides, on their side they claimed Osman broke his treaty with them, Joined the colonisers side & looted their camels & they were responding to that, anyways you can carry on..
